3-D remake or not, this actually could have made a decent slasher film. It has all the staples of the genre: a cool-looking killer, beautiful women who lack modesty, and an intriguing premise to stretch out into a feature-length killing spree. If only they had chosen a better screen-writer... Well, as it is, this movie is a mess. Instead of a real story, every single cliché known to the horror genre is put in play. Flat, interchangeable characters make painfully hollow small talk while waiting to die. The only moment I truly enjoyed was when a side character, played by the writer himself, got a pickaxe to the head; it was a richly deserved death. If you want a GOOD slasher movie about a miner killing people on Valentine's Day, I advise you to look for the original film, which is also in the NYPL.
